Christian,
Remembered drive maps are not connected until after foreground policy is
done processing, and logon scripts run after policy processing as well (if
you were mapping the drive in a script). Therefore if you install software
at logon, the remembered (or script-mapped) drive maps are not available for
use during that software installation.
I can't say why the application installation is attempting to access the
favorites folder, but it appears to be doing so and since the drive is not
mapped, it fails. This is timing related, but you can't change the order of
logon processing. You might consider redirecting the favorites folder to a
UNC path, if you can make that work. Otherwise our Policy Maker Drive Map
extension maps drives during policy processing, and the drives are therefore
available to other foreground policy - which would also solve the problem.
